Even though my dad despised it or maybe BECAUSE he despised it, I eventually became a fan of professional wrestling. I would watch RAW religiously and was shocked to discover the blood and violence contained in ECW. Being dissatisfied with the WWF product I saw on TV, I sought out something different. A friend hooked me up with a tape trading website that introduced me to Puroresu and Pride FC. I simultaneously caught a Pride PPV at my uncle's cottage (Pride 14) and have been hooked ever since.
